Move down to 4 NL and figure out how to do the following:

1. Gather information and reads on opponents so as to give them a realistic range for 3-betting in this spot.
2. Figure out how to play this hand.

As played, barring any information you need to fold preflop. As played, you need to bet the flop. As played, having now luckboxed the world you need to get full value and raise this LOLbet on the turn. Barring that, as played you need to shove the river. Do you need J9 to raise for value here?

This is one of the worst-played hands I've ever seen posted from a 50 NL player.

Im no pro and no one to judge but heres my take

Im not one to call that big pre flop raise. Where blinds 50 cents and he raise to 8 dollars?
Now on the flop after 2 checks im at least betting half the pot with top pair.
The river bet was really tiny compared to the pot so I prob try a raise.
Bb got very weak after the flop hit so im shoving on the turn

^^ 8's not that big there it's less than pot and villain is in the blinds. If hero is the type to continue with most of his range (and given his hand it appears he definitely is) then I'm raising more than 8 there with my queens.

OP you may not have much experience in 3bet pots it seems. Please absolutely raise that turn bet. Failing that, you need to raise the river. If you're flatting pre flop 3bets with KTo so that when you bink top 2 you can call down a couple of tiny bets of like 1/6 and 1/3 pot, then you really shouldn't be calling 3bets with KTo.

Fold after the BB squeezes. He doesn't have anything you beat literally ever.

Finit.
